Charles-Tim merit source application + Nigerian local board

[SmartGold01]

I don't have a specific words to narrate Charles-Tim from my start here back then 2021 within my local board I have seen him to be an active user who are always available to assist every up coming members especially newbies like me, despite my sudden increase I still term myself to be a learner compared to Charles-Tim., apparently he has been useful to the forum not only limited to our local board but also to other Subforum collectively and with his input to the platform be it technically, mentally and analytically I think Theymos should help grant his request as I feels and also have this strong believe that he will be able to handle that position and make use of his sources carefully without having to violate the rules (if there were any). Then lastly it will be a great opportunity to help expedite & foster the growth of our Nigerian local board, this would lead to also encourage the dedicated newbies and beginners rise quickly for having more merits source to our community., it will be a dream comes true if you honor his (our) request sir Theymos.

Thank you
SmartGold01

Does the Nigerian Local board need more merits? I see many nigerian members above FullMember rank and I do not think that there is a problem with that local board but I think that adding Charles-Tim is necessary for technical boards, as the number of active members there is decreasing day after day, especially with some CM members leaving the forum or reducing the number of posts.

Keep updating this topic and you will be selected.

I support this merit source application

Thank you for the observation on our local board. So in regards to the question you just asked. Nigeria is an English-speaking country with over 250 ethnic groups who speaks different dialect each, but is known to have a particular language which all these Ethnic groups/tribes  speak in common known as the "Nigerian Pidgin English", which is a combination of normal English and our Nigerian dialect/slang. Which is the reason why you happen to come across pure English on our local board, as it's also acceptable.
So I hope you understand now??

This has even led to an argument before on our local thread before theymos gave us local board, some people wanted all to be in Pidgin, but some people too wanted it to be in both English and Pidgin. We voted with these options:

• only Pidgin
• only English
• English and Pigin
• English, Pigin and other languages

Most people chose English and Pigin.

There are more than 371 tribes in Nigeria, with 525 spoken languages. The reason other languages are not accepted. Local forums, news and many more are in English. Also local radios in English but sometimes in Pidgin while doing some programs.

Pidgin is widely spoken among illiterates that do not understand English, but later more literates also like to speak it.

All of us on the forum are literates and we understand both. So most likely the reason almost everyone voted for English and Pidgin.

I do not want to create another thread for merit source application for local board, this is the reason I am posting about it on the thread that I have used to apply for merit source before.

I am applying for merit source for Nigeria (Naija) local board.

Before the Naija Local Board was created, you’ve an helpful member in that local board. Your commitment and dedication to the local board even increased more after we were given our local board by Theymos. Since then, you’ve been helpful and tried to make the board lively and welcoming to all Naija local board members in the forum. Your response to questions been asked there is encouraging and appreciate always. We are in support of you and we hope that your request is been granted by Theymos soon.

EDIT:

At Naija local board, we understand both English and Pidgin, but that has already been debated on the language we can use there. We can communicate with both but Pidgin is widely more understanding and relatable than any other language in Nigeria today. When the grammar is too much for a layman in Nigeria who doesn’t have enough English knowledge, one can easily break it down to pidgin for easy comprehension for them.

No matter the board being assigned to you @Charles-Tim I feel you're equal to the task. You're suitable for the position of a merit source and you are one of those who make sure things move smoothly in our LB (Naija LB), you being consistent and active is something the big boss (THEYMOS) need to look into. With your experience in this forum and how long you have spent here are some of those reasons why I feel you should be given a chance.
I don't see you going off color when given the task of a merit source. With good reputation you have on this forum is something the big boss @Theymos need to look up to... @CT you're good to go on this.
For me I support this application and the request should be granted.

I support your request. Charles-Tim is among the consistent high rankie member that has being contributing to our local board in teaching us most things that we are confused on or don't have an idea of. I have always notice his activeness in technical support on the forum too. So I think that he should also be considered to be part of the forum merit source. Nigeria local board is also lacking merits because only CryptopreneuerBrainboss is our merit source and according to our discussion, I think that the merits are small in number.

[LGD2Business]

I thought Charles-Tim was a merit source as well. He shares his merits very well, it would be nice if he were a merit source. Especially in the face of the rapid rise of the Nigerian board, it seems like they need a new source. Of course, the administrators will decide this. You opened the topic in the Nigerian local section, I didn't quite understand, but it looks like you really need it. I support my Nigerian brothers, let them unite and support whoever they think will be the best source. Management will definitely see this request. This application will be useful to you when new resources are added when the time comes.

Thanks for the clarification, it's the first time I know this information.
This will reduce the chance of you being a LB Merit source as English still accounts for a good proportion of the posts plus there are many higher ranking members who can speak Pigin.

I don't know if this is the reason why there is no mod for Nigeria (Naija) LB.

Most of the posts are in Pidgin. But even if they are in English, the board lacks merit, you can check the local board monthly stats in my application. We Nigerians can do what is best for the board because it is more about what is pertaining to us and mostly visited by us.

The reason is best known to theymos. He said the board is going to begin with no moderator, but maybe there would be a moderator later is what I am not certain about.

Adding a merit source in Nigeria is pretty good for me because 2 merit source in local boards are enough to sustain the merit circulation in a specific board. But for know as we can see that theymos is not accepting yet any merit source application. But still hoping that you will be accepted cause I know you're goal is to help quality poster in your local board.

[Doan9269]

Nigerian Pidgin is well recognized and believed to be a localized way of speaking English language as some may call it slangs but it's obvious that not all citizens can speak it but majority understand it, also the real English is the unified language and official speaking language in Nigeria, this makes the naija local board have a combination of two language and members could freely express themselves in the most convenient way their message could be well communicated and understood, the board indeed in fast increasing in activities for this reason with so many other reasons and having an additional merit source like Charles-Tim will encourage more members to participate on the local board discussion knowing well that their quality efforts will almost attract merits for the quality posts made, i want to believe that Theymos will see into this and consider the application together with other applicants worthy of being a merit source.

[Mpamaegbu]

Does the Nigerian Local board need more merits?

Yes, the board needs it and "desperately" so. You can check merit distribution in the Nigeria local board. It will hit you how scarcely merits are distributed to worthy posts, most of the posts don't even get any at all. Those you see above Full Members could've risen to Legendary too. You can visit Rikafip's thread "[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity" and you will see how glaring the facts are. Thank you, by the way, for stopping by here.

[GeorgeJohn]

Nigerian have a diverse language's and the language is been speak according to the geopolitical region and it breaks down into three official language's, so therefore Nigerian is a country of multiple language's and that is pidgin English is been introduced to country, and it's obvious that the pidgin English is been mixed with English language before it can be well understood.

When you take a good look at Nigeria board you know that they seriously need at least merits sources and I have seen that one Nigerian have applied for merit sources and it has not been approved and when looking at it you will see that many Nigerians lacks growths because their is no merit sources in the board that's except brainboss and that's while many of Nigerian lacks growths, I think forum have to look it very and approve a merit sources in nigeria board.

This application is overdue. Charles-Tim has really helped and contributed a lot in the forum. He has educated people about bitcoin and wallets so if Charles-Tim is seeking to be a local merit source, I support it with all my heart. Really Nigeria local board needs fully equipped merit sources. The users in the local board is over powering the present merit source we have and the merit allocation to the present source very much few that can not Merit good 3 to 4 posts. Sir theymos should accept this application and add it to others request need in the local board is subbords.

[Mate2237]

...the board lacks merit, you can check the local board monthly stats in my application. We Nigerians can do what is best for the board because it is more about what is pertaining to us and mostly visited by us.

Nigeria local board is really trying in the forum and the major thing we need there is merit sources. And if Nigeria board have these two Merit Source Applications then the board more and compete with other top 2 local boards in the forum. There are quality threads but no Merit and that caused some of the quality posters withdrew themselves from posting in the local board but if there are more M. Sources in the board more participants will Co e to the board and participate actively.

Charles-Tim is one the best and committed participant in the board and users have created a lot of quality threads but no Merits to give, therefore, we need these two Merit Sources in the local board. Therefore, We all Nigerians appeal Sir theymos to approve these two applications for the merit sources. Igebotz and Charles-Tim.
